agreed with all of that pretty much. we as a society should have never let Joss Whedon anywhere near Alien
I would easily watch Resurrection again over 3, even the assembly cut. I like Fincher but 3 just isn't good. Resurrection isn't good but at least it's somewhat fun to watch.
Yeah Resurrection is a fun re-watch, 3 not so much, even if I think 3 is probably better. Alien 3 does get bonus points for Charles Dance and Charles S. Dutton though But the alien/ripley baby is still so weird lol
Resurrection isn't "good" in the traditional sense, but it's really fucking campy, and might tie with Covenant for the best gore in the series (although some moments in Earth were also up there for me too). ³ is tonally morbid, but i've grown to like the Assembly Cut more with each new viewing (never seen the theatrical cut). the rod puppet still looks super rough though.
I honestly dont' think I've ever seen teh Assembly cut and I need to fix that. But I think every time I've seen Alien 3 it's been on tv/cable/premium channel so I never sought it out myself
Alien 3 is good purely because of Morse if nothing else. his "FUCK!" when the warden gets got is legendary
Alin 3 is good, Alien Resurrection is...not good, but very weird and kind of fun, at least. Both are a little disappointing on first watch, of course You skipped Alien vs. Predator my guy
Faces of Death was pretty decent. Thought it was kinda weird that the slasher kills were mostly off screen whilst all the video stuff was front and center. curious about the original but unsure if I’ll ever watch it because of the real animal deaths
Committing to Obsession on Thursday. Going in fairly blind also - I only know the basic premise. Stoked and hoping for good stuff.
Damn, gonna need a copy of Splatter Farm for sure. Just got my copies of Christmas Evil, Cuddly Toys, Delirium, and Vick and Tarstar's Scarecrow Factory from the VS sale Barnes and Noble was having.
I am trying my best to behave myself until a major sale or I get through the backlog of discs I haven’t watched yet, which has to be close to 50
